Obituary: Obituary--Newberg Graphic Charles
William Ellison, well known pioneer resident of Newberg, died at his home at 205
north Main street Saturday afternoon, July 23, after an illness of more than a
year. He was 79 years and 23 days old.
Son of Larkin T. Ellison and Nancy Cummings Ellison, he
was born in Mercer county, West Virginia, on July 1, 1853. When he was 12 years
old his parents moved with him to Oregon, settling in this part of the state,
where they lived for several years. In 1871 they moved to southern Oregon where
they lived for about ten years.
He had the honor to take part in the Indian war at
Klamath in the early '70s. In 1881 he was married to Miss Elizabeth Bevert at
Sherwood, Ore. This union, however, was broken by the death of his wife shortly
after their marriage. He was a farmer, but retired from his occupation about 20
years ago and since then has lived in this vicinity, during which time he has
made a great number of close friends and acquaintances.
He leaves to mourn his death, three sisters, Mrs. D. A.
Hagey of Newberg, Mrs. Sallie Lewis of Sherwood, and Mrs. M. A. Ashpole of
Medford, and one brother, O. A. Ellison of Concil Bluffs, Ia. Many other nieces,
nephews, other relatives, and a host of friends join with brother and sisters in
mourning his departure.
Funeral services were held at 2:00 p.m. Tuesday from
the Hollingsworth chapel with Rev. Elery Parrish, pastor of the local Christian
church, in charge of services. Burial was made in Pleasant Hill cemetery.Provided by: Vicki Bonagofski

Ledger Notes: Funeral: W. W. HollingsworthFamily Contribution: The
1860 census lists George as a 4 yr old boy living with his family in
Wood County, OH. In 1880 George lived in Douglas County, OR, where
he was a “boarder” and employed as a “shepherd.”

1900 census lists George W Elsfelder, 43, born Feb 1857 in Ohio,
living with his wife of 5 years, Liona M Elsfelder, 27, born Jun
1872 in Illinois, and their son Walter L. The family lived in
Portland, where George was employed as a saw-mill helper. By 1910
the family had moved to Oak Point, in Columbia County. George was
still employed as a saw-mill laborer.

In 1920 the family – Walter, Liona,
and their 3 sons– lived across the Columbia River in Clark County,
WA. George was employed as a laborer in a shipyard. By 1930 the
family was reduced to George and his wife. George had taken up
farming as an occupation. Their three sons had moved on.
